> So, who will be our protagonist?
>> How about the most generic fucking looking anthropomorphic animal anybody can ever imagine, with no defining features whatsoever?
> Sounds great. I always hated creativity. Now what thing will he collect in levels?
>> Uhhhm... Apples?
> Wow how did you think of that?
>> It's just the first word that comes into anybody's mind by default since it's constantly used as a symbol or as a common object or food or a thing they count in primary school arithmetic
> Well I don't know what all those words mean but hey, I like potatoes, they smell nice. Now what should use for boxes that you gotta destroy to get stuff?
>> CRATES.
> That's amazing thinking there buddy. We'll make them wooden - you know, the most common, generic fucking material. I'm not sure people are even ready for metal yet. Maybe in Crash Bandicoot 4. Maybe. Probably not though. Definitely not. Now who will the evil guy be?
>> Oh that's simple. Le evil genius - just like in literally every other thing ever.
> I almost had a feeling you'd say that but not quite. Care for a spin-off rip-off of Mario Cart?
>> That goes without saying. I mean it's not like we have brains capable of original thought or something like that. After all, aren't we just a conveyor belt of entertainment product, the anti-thesis of soul?
> We sure are buddy.
>> hurrr
> durrr
>> haha
> hahaha
>> cool, I think the game is ready

what's your favorite crash game? I'm replaying crash 1 and holy shit it has such tight platforming.

Just started playing this gem and I'm loving it so far. I had heard different things about it, with some people worshipping it and others shitting on the save system, lack of analog controls and difficulty, but none of that bothers me. The controls are extremely tight, overall good graphics, great jumping mechanics, and I love the simple yet deep gameplay. This game is a welcome contrast for something like MK64/Banjo for me, as I always associate those type of games with exploration and puzzle solving, whereas Crash is straight action and reflex. How do you think this game compares to other platformers of the era, or future installments?

I never played these games properly as a kid but I remember enjoying the brief time I spent on them at a friend's place. I'm thinking about getting the remaster trilogy, especially since so many fags are waiting about hard they supposedly are. A hard game would be refreshing.

Anyway how do you rate the original trilogy as platformers? What would you give them out of 10? How would you rank them with other classics like the dkc trilogy on snes, smw and Mario 64?

Cheers.
